Royal Family LIVE: Prince Harry and Meghan’s agenda torn apart after spotlight row: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle found themselves in the centre of a dispute over the timing of their latest brand launch – but one expert believes it’s all to do with image.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were criticized by a royal commentator over trying to push their own ‘agenda’ and upstage King Charles’s Trooping the Color ceremony.

The King’s birthday celebrations this year included the triumphant return of the Kate, the Princess of Wales, who made her first appearance in months, as she, like the monarch, undergoes cancer treatment. Hours before last Saturday’s festivities began, Nacho Figueras, a polo player and friend of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex revealed the latest products he got sent from Meghan’s American Riviera Orchard brand, a jar of raspberry jam and dog biscuits.

Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield blasted the couple’s timing and said in this week’s episode of Heirs & Spares: “Whether this was coincidental or not, they [Harry and Meghan] could have ended the negative headlines or talk of how inappropriate and catty this looks by wishing the King a happy birthday.

“That would have changed the direction of the conversation but instead, we’re sitting here going ‘Can you believe she tried to upstage the Princess of Wales with dog food?'” She added: “The whole objective is to change her [Meghan’s] brand from Mean Girl to earthy, girl-next-door and mum blogger and I just think the damage is done.”
